This article is written for logging into the Plesk Control Panel for Dedicated Server Customers. If you are in the shared environment please
click here to login to your Managed.com Control Panel. If you are experiencing issues logging in, please contact Support for assistance.
You may access your Control Panel on your Dedicated Server both on or off of the server and you have a few different options to do so. All available options will be detailed below. If you have any questions please contact Support.
Plesk Login Page
The easiest way to login to the Plesk Control Panel is through the login page interface. This option is available both on and off of the server. To access the login screen on the server navigate to one of the following URLs:
HTTPS: https://localhost:8443
HTTP: http://localhost:8880
To access the login page off of the server, you will need to replace localhost with any of your servers shared or dedicated IP addresses. You may also use a host name which resolves to your server for this:
HTTPS: https://127.0.0.1:8443
HTTP: http://127.0.0.1:8880
Domain: http://domain.com:8880
Managed.com Control Suite
Most dedicated servers come with the Control Suite Application provided. This method is also a quick and easy way to login to the Plesk Control Panel. Simply launch Control Suite then right click on the 'Domains' left hand menu item and choose Login as Admin. This will launch a web browser window to automatically log you in to the Plesk Control Panel
